FIGHTING OPPORTUNISM

We
reproduce here our denunciation of the last action of physical
repression the ICC exerted against our fraction. Even though unable
to mobilize just one militant to diffuse its press and its statement
on the French suburbs events at the various street demonstrations in
Paris and its periphery during that period, the ICC succeeded, one
more time, to convene from province and Europe about twenty members
who were waiting for us in order to intimidate us and to prevent us
to politically intervene at their so-called public meeting in Paris.
By the way, let's notice that it's a new basic principle of the ICC,
"no violence within the working class", which is at its
turn liquidated.

After
our denunciation, we've received a certain number of solidarity
reactions and of indignation. Amongst them, two political questions
were raised by our correpondants. The first one criticizes, or at
least doesn't understand, our orientation towards the ICC : "the
gangsters behaviour of the ICC militants proves that the
possibilities to bring them back to a communist path is almost run
out" ; "You expend an incredible energy to «redress»
a group which has nothing left of communist except its name and which
utilizes (...) the stalinist repression. What a pity !"
We already answered to this question and we carry on saying the
opportunist ICC remains in the proletarian camp despite all its
drifts and betrayals. Consequently, and basing ourselves on the
example of the Lefts of the International Communist and the CP's
during the years 1920-1930, we continue to think that our fraction is
still part of this organization (it is even today its true and
genuine expression) despite our sordid expulsion by the "liquidators"
who presently lead the ICC, and that it still has a struggle to be
led aiming at its "redressment" what ever difficult it is.
And we continue to affirm that the whole present communist forces
can't lose interest in it but it has a determined fight to lead
against opportunism under all its forms and expressions, and thus
against this organisation one, as always have done the revolutionary
organizations and great revolutionaries of the past.

We also
received an other type of questionning to which we want to answer
here. What political and militant attitude has to be adopted in front
such situation of violence and intimidation ? Thus we publish
one of these correspondances on this questions followed by our
response.

Curfew against
our fraction,The ICC bans us from the street and wants to impose
us the curfew !

Saturday
November 12th in Paris, while the state of urgency was
declared in the french surburbs, the ICC applied the curfew against
our militants who came to its public meeting for distributing our
statement on the riots. They've been waited by a militia at the
subway station exit close to the meeting place. At 300 meters from
there. They physically, it means violently, prohibited us to go on
and to walk in the street ! One more time, the "militants",
obviously very nervous and very aggressive, jostled us with some "Get
away ! Clear off ! You've nothing to do here ! Shut
up ! You've nothing to say !". We've tried, and
succeeded, in not responding on this terrain while we recalled them
the principles and the behaviour of true communist militants and of
the militants of the ICC... of the past.

But it's
clear that our existence and our political intervention is for them
"intolerable" and that they'll do everything they can, it
means nothing in political terms but much in terms of violent
repression, to make us shut up and make us disappear.

Yesterday,
still militants of the ICC, we were expelled of the internal
meetings. Then, once excluded of the organization, we've been banned
of speaking in the public meetings, and next prohibited to attend
them with the systematic setting up of a "service of order"
at the door of the meeting room. In the following, they've placed
this one on the public street, it means at the entrance of the park
where is the building of the room. And now, it's at the subway
station that we confront a "mobile" militia. And all this
is after having denounced us in their international press and to all
their contacts as cops, provocators, nazis, murderers, kidnappers,
etc... and lately, no laugh, as cut-throat.

When are
they going to snatch the leaflets from our hands to "prohibit"
our intervention ? When are they going to hunt us down in the
street demonstrations ? When are they going to beat us in order
to prevent that we participate to the other groups meetings ?
When are they going tow ait us at our homes for smashing our faces
in ? It's in the logic, it's the normal following, of the
stalinist mechanic they engaged.

Yesterday,
the stalinists did the dirty work for the bourgeoisie. Today, it's
the ICC of the "liquidators"... in the name of the
Communist Left ! What a shame ! But don't be mistaken, if
today we are the main target of these attacks, today any communist
organisation or any militant that will oppose in a consequent manner
to the politics and to the positions of this very ICC, will suffer
the same fate.

"They
got the habit" and any retreat becomes almost impossible for the
militants of this organization who accept and put into practice such
a politic. The violent and sectarian physical confrontation is
becoming dominant amongst them on the political - contradictory
discussion and debate - confrontation.

As
communist militants, they're destroyed or in the process of being
destroyed.
